Prolactin is the hormone that stimulates lactation, and it is produced in the pituitary gland (located in your brain). So you don't need to have your ovaries to produce milk. In fact there have even been cases where a man has had high levels of prolactin (due to a pituitary tumor for example) and has begun producing milk.
